Chapter 2
As he stepped into the common room to get breakfast he noticed what Raven and Starfire weren't there.
"Where're the girlies?" – wondered Beast Boy.
"They went to 'the mall of shopping' as Star calls it." – dreamily replied boy wonder.
"Why?" – completely randomly asked Beast Boy.
"'Coz we are all going to celebrate my birthday in the evening and apparently I'm getting a surprise! Booya!" – it was Cyborgs turn to answer. He was very exited!
"Oh. Well can you knock on my door when she gets back." – without waiting he walked out of the room.
"Which one did he mean? He's been acting really weird lately." – noticed Robin.
"I dunno what up with the green grass stain but I'm about to find it out!" – and with those words Cyborg walked out of the room.
"Oh boy!" – said Robin to himself.
Meanwhile at the mall...
"Friend Raven, what was the surprise which we wanted to get friend Cyborg?" – cheerfully asked Starfire.
"I told you a million times we-are-getting-him-a-date!" – slowly explained Raven.
"Ahhh, who shall be his, as you say, date?"
"I was thinking of getting Bumble Bee. She said she is shopping somewhere here today." – Raven had to force a smile since Starfire's confused facial expression finally disappeared.
"Friend Raven?"
"What!?!"
"I am very grateful what you have been 'hanging out' with me but why? You never did before." – Starfire has hit Ravens weak spot without realising it. How can she tell Starfire – Star will tell the whole Tower and Beast Boy will find out.
"Will you tell me please?" – continued to nag Star.
"No! Um... we better go look for Bee." – Raven tried to change the subject but it didn't work. Starfire did her puppy dog face and no-one has ever resisted it. Not even the coldest of them all...
"Fine... but not now, I guess you all will find out eventually." – shyly confessed Raven.
"Oh look, I see friend Bumble Bee!" – happily announced Starfire before giving Bee a bone crushing hug. Raven was so relieved, but for how long?!
